Posted October 8, 200618 yr The MR23 CB and Z101 Tourstage irons are very similar in shape and design to the naked eye. The cavities are cut very similar, headshape very close, and both incorporate tungsten in the long irons. For those who have played them both, can you give your opinions on why you liked one over the other?
October 10, 200618 yr I played the MR23s about 4 years ago, and the z101s are still in one of my bags. All I can remember about the MR23s is that they are MUCH shorter heel-to-toe. Therefore, even though they are a CB design, the compact head made the sweet spot TINY. I just didn't feel confident with them, and I would go so far as to say that modern blades with longer heel-to-toe lengths and strategically placed weight (or "muscle" in Mizuno-speak) are more forgiving. My 2 cents...
October 10, 200618 yr I agree Z101 is a classic, more forgiving than the MR-23 and a design we could see soon in the bridgestone line up.
